Gone are the days of practical special effects. At least, the days when practical effects were the primary source of visual magic in the movies. Nowadays, film studios may use models and mock-ups, but they’ll almost always be aided by digital special effects. These Computer Generated Images, or CGI, are designed by the artists at special effects houses like George Lucas’ Industrial Light and Magic or Peter Jackson’s WETA. And while the audience’s eyes can still pick up on inconsistencies or moments of visual fakery, the filmmakers behind the special effects on screen are always finding new ways to surprise us.

Yet, for every moment of wonder in Star Wars, Avatar, or the Avengers movies, there are also instances where special effects stick out like sore thumbs, and where we in the audience can see the strings. It’s in these behind the scenes photos and footage that we can see motion capture actors in silly bodysuits, famous celebrities in monochromatic onesies and imposing antagonists stuck wearing clunky and simplistic costumes. Sure, all these goofy-looking costumes are going to be fixed in post, but for now we can enjoy how clunky they truly are before finished touches are added.
